What is an L-shaped Dormer Loft Conversion?

An L-shaped dormer loft conversion extends two dormers at the rear of the property, forming an ‘L’ shape. This type of loft conversion is particularly suited for Victorian and Edwardian homes, providing ample space for a master bedroom, en-suite bathroom, home office, or extra living area. With its unique structure, it offers a significant increase in both floor space and headroom compared to other loft conversion types.

Do You Need Planning Permission?

Many L-shaped conversions fall under permitted development, meaning you may not need planning permission. However, if your property is in a conservation area or you’re making significant external alterations, planning approval may be required. Our team will handle all planning applications and ensure compliance with building regulations.
